Y6 Parliament Workshop

-
Today Year 6 joined a very special workshop online held by the Houses of Parliament. They found out how the Houses of Parliament and the Houses of Lords work, what an MP does and how the laws are made. They even had the chance to think about who would be worthy to join the House of Lords. Suggestions ranged from Marcus Rashford, Daniel Radcliffe, Ed Sheeran and even Mrs Chestnutt! Well, you never know!


  




It was a very informative session and the children were able to join in and answer questions. During the session our local MP, Andrew Rosindell, also joined in and told the children all about his role and how he works to help the local community. 

The children came up with some very probing questions for him too...

'Have you ever met the Prime Minister?'

'How can we tackle the problem of littering in the local area?'

'When are you planning to lift all the Covid restrictions?'

'What do you think are the most important issues that the government are facing?'

'If elected Prime Minister what would be the first thing you might do?'

Maybe we have some budding MPs or even Lords of the future!!

 It has been a great start to our adventures at Stubbers!  We went on a nature trail around a large lake, that we will be using later on today for water sports activities. We even managed to find some exciting equipment to play on along the way.  We are now eating our lunch, and getting ready for the fun this afternoon.  Keep checking for exciting updates!

What a great first day at Stubbers

After lunch, we all started our first activities. We all got to go on a climbing wall, with many of us reaching the top. We also got to try open canoeing or double kayaking, even though it was meant to be fairly dry activity many of us managed to get nice and wet. After our activities we found our tents for the next couple of days and then had our dinner, it was a very tasty bolognaise with fruit for pudding.  We are now waiting for our evening activity, the mini Olympics, then time for some well earned rest.  We will keep you updated in the morning. Keep an eye out.
